Keep your cutlery collection in tiptop shape with this diamond sharpening steel from Ultimate Edge. The steel's microcrystalline diamonds--which are bonded with nickel to the lightweight shaft--sharpens and realigns the rows of tiny "teeth" on the blade to recapture the knife's razor-sharp edge. The standard-size steel sharpens without using messy oil or water, and because of its meager weight, the steel also wields easily when removing flaws from fine crystal, china, and glass, in addition to sharpening serrated blades. The unit measures 10 inches long and fits most standard knife blocks. For best results, chefs should hold the steel at a consistent 20-degree angle while using.
